"New Poems" by Francis Thompson is a collection of early 20th-century poetry that uses vivid descriptions and complicated wording to show deep feelings and ideas about love, faith, and the world around us. Beginning with a tribute to another poet, Coventry Patmore, the collection quickly introduces a dreamy and mysterious atmosphere with "The Mistress of Vision," a poem about a captivating woman's song in a strange garden filled with love and longing.
